Across Medebach, hornbeam, birch, and beech form the backbone of local tree pollen, with parks and gardens more exposed than the town centre. Tree and grass pollen levels rise further from Sauerland farmland and upland woodland at the town's edge, while the valley and ridge setting channels airflows across the town.

How often is the Medebach pollen forecast updated?

Does pollen in Medebach come from nearby or far away?

Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.

Are pollen levels in Medebach based on measurements or forecasts?

Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.

Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Medebach, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
